PKD?: If you are referring to pre kidney disease, then usually this does not cause pain in the back, however, the kidneys do give sensations to the low back. You could also be feeling pain from the back itself. An exam with an MD and bloodwork, and urine sample will help delineate these.

Polycystic Kidney: Pain in the area of the kidneys can be caused by cyst infection, bleeding into cysts, kidney stone, or stretching of the fibrous tissue around the kidney with cyst growth.
